Subject: BELLIS farm sold to Enoch W. DRAKE in 1897
Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 15:46:42 -0400
Was hoping someone might know, off the top of their heads, what "Bellis
farm" is being referred to in the following item. This was reported in the
November 16, 1897 Trenton Evening Times, under the subheading "HOPEWELL":
"At the sale of the real estate of Joseph M. PHILLIPS, deceased, on
Saturday, the harness property was sold to J.C. HARRISON and the adjoining
lot, now occupied by Samuel CARVER to John TITUS, and the house and lot in
East Hopewell, known as the BUCKLEY property, was sold to Samuel CARVER, and
the farm north of the borough, known as the BELLIS farm, to Enoch W. DRAKE.
Fair prices were obtained for all."
I'm trying to ascertain if this farm might be the "BELLIS homestead" located
along KUHL Road near the Copper Hill/Reaville area or is a different Bellis
property.
Thanks,
